What did you do to your Prius v wagon today?

Bought these from eBay for $3.50 shipped. Ran some wires from the left to the right. I had to drill a small hole to run the wires behind the panels. All in all, more light then I needed.

 

Got me a LED stick up light instead,no hole drilling, when is time to change the batteries you just pull on those white lips and the light comes off and you're able to put it back on.This is the lazy way method of doing it.

 

Installed the front mud flaps. Could not find my floor jack to install the rears.

AND, bought this little guy... older Yakima Rocketbox Box.







The Prius v3 easily handled it

SM-N920V ?

 

Nice! Please update on what kind of rails you decide to go with and lots of pics be great too.

 

Got me another stick up LED light just under the dash.I got tired going 65 at night on the highway trying to hook up my IPod cable while driving and unable to see the audio output hole,this makes it a lot easier to find it or trying to find anything else for that matter.

 

Mounted some LS460 projector for fog light on my 2015 v 4. Everything is in place just need time to do final alignment and filling in the gaps.


Also since the bumper was off I did the squirrel finder mod as well. If anyone was wondering the 2015 shield is very big compared to most projectors.


With and without squirrel mod. Big different.

EDIT: projector aim and running. This a close up about 20 feet. Just random pics I needed to take.



This is with headlights on, no more squirrel finder. Cutoff is still horrible but I am going to live with it since I don't have time to play with them.

 

hey bro , may i know where you buy that fog light
??

 

Aren't the LS460 projectors open to the elements? How do you keep water and grime out of the projectors?

Got these from PriusChat member Cheizy: For Sale - 2010-2015 Prius HID Projector Fog Lights (BOLT ON FINALLY!) $120 | PriusChat

I also did the squirrel finders on my Camry. The flaps were really large, and had flaps on the sides too. Did you just bend them up and JB Weld a piece of aluminum over the cutouts?

 

They are actual projector that are taken off a Lexus LS460 headlight. I am using them as fog light because I have two set laying around and I didn't want to spend money on new stuff.

I saw Cheizy fog and was really considering them over the blazer but I had these laying around and thought I put it to use. Plus this this is our family car too. So it's a long term investment.

I have a big rubber cap from a pair of BMW projector somewhere that I will use to keep as much junk out as possible. I will also built a plastic housing around it to keep both ballast and projector protected. Maybe two week from now I will have time to work on it more. And whenever I do an oil change I will go in and clean it if I have too. Plus the 3 inch lens are dirt cheap and free sometime if I ever need to replace it. No clear lens it be a waste.

For the projector flap, just like you said. Bend it and jb weld soda can over it. The result i am a bit disappointed because it effected my cut off. A little soft and fuzzy. I plan to go back and add more jb weld to completely cover the area and make final adjustments then.

 

I think the cutoff shield gets bent slightly from bending the metal shield up then down to access the squirrel finder cutouts. That's the main reason why the cutoff isn't as sharp I believe.

I've been contemplating going back in and adding more JB Weld and trying to pull on the shield slightly to see if I can get it straightened out to where it was to get the nice, sharp cutoff again.

 

I say go back and do it. Taking off the bumper is ridiculous easy on the Prius. Especially the 2015 there is less bolts and clip to take off. Maybe dozen total.

Anyways I will do it to mine in a few week. The fuzz is driving me nuts. I think pulling the shield back will fix the problem. Also keep in mind the bulb seating is important too.

 

I replaced my antenna with a 30-caliber bullet. It's subtle but cool. I don't know if anyone will even notice...

Installed some revier led turn signal. Not to happy with brightness of the drl function thoe.

 

I took my wife's v3 in for its initial 5k service...

She kept telling me something is wrong with the car, something about "check engine light or service something light on the dash". I said I do believe it is simply telling you that service is due soon... And that's what it was

 

Took my wife's v3 in to the body shop for an estimate for a repair today. She unfortunatly had a fender bender the other day. Fortunatly no one was injured and nothing that can't be repaired..
